ADC’s OmniReach
™
FTTX Solutions are the industry’s first infrastructure solutions designed from the
ground up to meet the unique requirements of FTTX networks. Designed for operational efficiency
and scalability, OmniReach solutions simplify FTTX network installation, maintenance and manage-
ment from the central office/headend to the outside plant.
Servicing neighborhoods and housing developments from 32 to 864 homes, ADC’s Fiber Distribution
Hubs (FDHs) enable high optical line terminal (OLT) efficiency, and physical layer access to fibers with-
in the feeder and distribution network. The FDHs incorporate four time-tested elements that have
long impacted reliability, flexibility and operational costs within the central office:
• Bend radius protection
• Intuitive cable routing
• Easy fiber/connector access
• Physical protection
ADC FDHs take into account the rugged outside plant environment, providing superior performance
over temperature, clear usage information on the cabinet, unobtrusive design and robust construction.

Features and Benefits
• Feeder input panel - Connectorized feeder input allows for plug-in of the connectorized splitter input
directly to feeder input port
• Removable retainers - Allow cleaning of single
connectors without disturbing adjacent circuits
• Integrated slack storage spools - Allow storage
of excess fiber while providing positive fiber
bend radius control
• Angled bulkhead panel - Provides easy hand
access to connectors and prevents 90 degree
bends on connector boots
• Easy access - Swings open to provide access to
distribution bulkhead panels
• Small cabinet options - Smaller cabinets pro-
trude only 48” from the ground, while pole mount
versions protrude less than 16” from the pole
• Detailed routing information - Clear labeling
in the cabinet ensures accurate and consistent
cable routing and speeds service turn-up or rou-
tine maintenance
The ADC Parking Lot
All splitter connectors are preloaded into the parking lot

• Safe storage for all connectors prior to use
• NEW 8-pack has all connectors pre-loaded into the
correct position. Simply plug in
• Dust cap remains in place until service is turned up
• Easy fiber identification
• Easy installer access to connectors and fibers
• Each splitter output pigtail is uniquely numbered

Centralized Splitting
There are two main approaches to FTTX optical splitters: centralized and cascaded. ADC recommends
the centralized approach for several significant reasons.
• The centralized splitter approach maximizes the highest efficiency of expensive OLT cards. Since each
home in this approach is fiber-connected directly back to a central hub, all ports on the OLT card are
used and 100% efficiency is achieved.
• Provides easy testing and troubleshooting access. It is very difficult to use an optical time-domain
reflectometer (OTDR) to test multiple splitters unless the network is built with each fiber character-
ized to enable the OTDR to recognize each individual fiber run.
• Minimizes signal loss by eliminating extra splices and/or connectors from the distribution network.
Each time an optical signal encounters a network component or connection, such as a splitter, it
suffers a certain degree of signal loss. Therefore, when splitters are cascaded together, loss will
occur at each device. The combined loss effect can reduce the distance a signal can travel, impos-

ing distance limitations on fiber runs.
• Reducing the number of components in the network decreases the number of opportunities for failure.

Stubbed Cable Configurations
One of the options when deploying Omnireach FDH cabinets is to install the cabinet with stub cables,
which can be ordered for both feeder and distribution. When ordering cabinets provisioned with stubs,

the splicing operation ensures optimal performance in the field. When technicians are only required to
do sheath openings and perform fusion splicing—single strands or mass fusion—significant labor
hours and dollars are saved over the scope of the project.
Features
• Pole mount, pad mount or sleeve mount
• Pre-terminated with OSP cable, loose tube or ribbon, armored or dielectric
• Angled or flat polish connectors
• Uses ADC high-performance connectors
• Uses 8-pack parking lot
• 1x4, 1x8, 1x16 or 1x32 splitters can be preinstalled or ordered separately.
